Illinois Central 1102

When I first saw 1102 at The Great Train Show in Costa Mesa, CA (a totally awesome place to buy used trains), I said to my mom: Mom, can I have that one, it's only $7. She said yes and in my 7 year old hands, I took home ILLINOIS CENTRAL 1102. At that time it was a good looking engine until I noticed the coupler was busted. We did a bit of cleanup on the motor and got it running pretty good. It's sort of loud, but it's like an old loco. It runs good.
